Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for and dimension the task
  • Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work.
  • Customer orders are interpreted to establish required sizes of finished products.
  • Size requirements are checked in relation to the production process and finishing capacity of the workplace.
       
Element: Plan process
  • Material for pattern or template is identified for approximate size and characteristics.
  • Required instruments and equipment are identified, located and assembled.
  • Drawings and related specifications are interpreted.
  • Procedures for using pattern development instruments and tools are checked and equipment is prepared for use.
       
Element: Plot dimensions
  • Equipment and tools are used following normal workplace procedures.
  • Each dimension is measured, exploded and plotted maintaining appropriate angles, arcs and curves.
  • Visual inspection and measurements are used to compare pattern dimensions and shapes with drawings and specifications.
       
Element: Complete pattern or template
  • Pattern or template is completed ensuring that the pattern indicates completion date and original drawing details.
  • Required workplace approval of pattern or template is obtained.
  • Plans are marked with notations for workplace requirements, including authorship, process or customer requirements, authorisation and any review dates.
  • Plans are copied and filed as required according to workplace policies and procedures.
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competency for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competency and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement.

Critical aspects of evidence

Locate, interpret and apply relevant information.

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment.

Interpret drawings and extrapolate to physical dimensions.

Select appropriate mediums and materials.

Produce a minimum of three patterns or templates making use of:

manufactured board

solid timber

composite material.

Suggest improvements to pattern and template production and where authorised, negotiate changes.

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment.

Underpinning knowledge

Company operating procedures, including procedures for pattern and/or template production.

Types, characteristics uses and limitations of pattern/template materials.

Operation requirements of equipment and work systems in own work area.

Competency requirements of the work activities.

Relevant regulatory requirements, recognised standards and codes, and industry practices.

Underpinning skills

Information. Research, collect, organise and understand information related to pattern and template production, including the relevant technical, regulatory, environmental and safety requirements.

Communication. Communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, co-ordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems.

Planning. Plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage.

Teamwork. Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity.

Mathematical ideas and techniques. Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and dimensions, create accurate patterns and templates and estimate material requirements.

Solve problems. Create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate pattern and template production problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage.

Use of technology. Use the workplace technology related to pattern and template production, including production tools and equipment, calculators and measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems.

Resource implications

Drawings, job specifications, tools and equipment, information on production/fabrication process, production materials and relevant computer equipment and software.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and/or samples of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant equipment, simulated work instructions and deadlines.
